The warm air in the apartment lobby greeted Calvin as he closed the door behind him. "God I wish I'd brought my coat, the weather is getting unbearable." He thought. Taking a moment to make sure everything he'd gotten from the shop down the street was still there, especially the small gift wrapped package the shop owner custom ordered for the young man, he started up the stairs.
Tomorrow would mean going back to rum running but if it bought him more days like this then it would be bearable. Being able to start a life for himself in his own place has been amazing, especially with someone he loved. The only problem with today was how life chose to treat said someone. But he had every intention of turning her day around.
He opened the door to his apartment, quietly placing the bag on the entryway table, and heard a sound coming from the bedroom. He grabbed the package out of the bag and hid it behind his back. Walking slowly to the door to keep the surprise, he wasn't expecting what he saw.
Ivy was slightly knelt down with her back to him, her hands between her legs. He followed the lines of her waist down to her butt then back up to the small of her back which sat perfectly between two adorable bulges on her hips. His eyes just couldn't leave the sight of her, he was almost in a trance watching her. A moaning of his name sent shivers down his spine and snapped him back to reality. "Ivy?" He said instinctively without thought.
She screamed and frantically covered herself. Calvin quickly closed the door, putting his back to it and sliding down to the floor. He couldn't believe what had just happened. What was he gonna do?
Calvin eventually sat on the couch and tried to gather his thoughts. There were a thousand things going through his head. "Why did you just stand there?" He asked himself, putting his head in his hands. The young man felt the need to say something, anything, that could help the situation.
He approached the door and called her name, telling her he loved her and that he'd sleep in the living room. He went back to the couch, damn near slammed his head into the coffee table with how much this situation was making him fumble. He tried to lay down and sleep off the embarrassment.
He closed his eyes, trying to drift into a slumber but he kept seeing one thing. Ivy, her beautiful body in the sea of darkness. He let his mind wander for a moment, "god she looked amazing" he thought. "NO! Christ, you're a criminal and now a pervert" he thought again.
He couldn't deny that she looked incredible in that instance, or at least what he'd seen. He had a little bit of experience with the fairer sex from his high school days but he's never walked in on a woman like that before. He felt terrible for Ivy, he didn't want to cause her distress.
Hours went by but Calvin just couldn't sleep, he spent the time laying there and mentally kicking himself. He eventually heard rustling coming from the bedroom. He got up and hesitated to open the door before eventually peeking in.
He saw Ivy laying in the middle of the bed, she seemed like she'd kicked the covers off her in the middle of the night. Calvin came closer and realized he could hear small whimpers, sure enough he saw tears running down her cheek the closer he got. He decided to pull the blanket that had been bucked off back onto her.
He looked down at her, it hurt to think that he'd caused this. "I need to make this right." he thought, kneeling down next to her. He sat there for a moment in deep thought before kissing her gently on the forehead. "beidh tú ar fheabhas" he whispered, as he stood up to start his atonement.
——————————————————————
Ivy woke up the following morning, the memories of yesterday flooding back when the familiar warmth of her partner was missing. She didn't feel as though anything good would come of today. Climbing out of bed she put on a school uniform to wear to the daisy before her classes started, as per her Friday schedule.
She hesitated for a moment before leaving the bedroom but was shocked to find that she was the only one in the apartment. She looked at the couch, it was hardly touched. Her eyes caught the sight of something sitting on the kitchen table, a ceramic warmer with some clothes sitting in front of it. She walked over and noticed a pleasant smell getting stronger
Looking at the clothes she noticed they were the clothes she had worn yesterday, now washed and stitched up. There was also a note that read 'Ivy, enjoy your day, it starts with a good breakfast, I love you.' She lifted the top of the warmer and found a small stack of pancakes. Ivy smiled at the gesture but felt as though she shouldn't be eating anything like this, given her new desire to slim down. She wanted to just throw it away but she couldn't bring herself to throw it away after Calvin had made it for her.
"One bite won't make a difference." She thought, sitting down at the table. Ivy had eaten things Calvin made before, they both had a tendency to cook for each other, but something about these pancakes blew her away. Before she knew it they were gone.
She took a moment to clean up and left for her very short walk across the street for the cafe. "Morning dear" she heard Mitzi say as he walked in. Ivy was surprised to see that it was only Mitzi behind the counter. Usually Vicktor, Rocky, and occasionally Calvin were eating breakfast when she came in. "Where is everyone?" She asked. "The boys are out on a run, they won't be back until later tonight."
Ivy seemed disappointed, something Mitzi quickly picked up on. "What's wrong honey? Calvin was over here real early making a phone call, even left a bag for you." She said, motioning towards the bag at the end of the counter. Ivy hesitated for a moment before explaining the events of the past night.
"I don't want him to think less of me for looking the way I do, I try really hard I just can't get a nice looking body" Ivy said, "he shouldn't have to settle for me when he looks great. She continued with shame in her voice. Mitzi looked ready to explode. "Ivy Pepper, I don't ever want to hear you say that about yourself!" She said, the anger prevailed in her voice. Ivy was shocked for a moment but nodded at the older woman. "You need to talk to Calvin about this, I know he loves you to the moon and back dear, and he'll tell you exactly what you need to hear." Mitzi said before leaving to go upstairs.
Ivy worked the counter for a few hours, thinking on her boss and friend's words. She always thought that beauty was what was seen in things like vogue, she'd never thought about what a man might actually think of her. She wanted Calvin to find her as attractive as she found him but she didn't know what he liked in a woman, she was scared she didn't have it.
The time came to leave for her class and as she walked to campus she opened the small bag Calvin left for her. Inside was two of her favorite sandwich, a piece of cake from last night, and an envelope. The envelope had a letter and a few dollars in it reading 'Ivy, I hope you enjoy this lunch and here's some cash to get to and from class today, love Calvin'.
She became a tad teary eyed at the second gesture she's received from him for the day. She hailed a cab and got to campus with more than enough time to sit and eat her lunch. The sandwiches tasted better than the pancakes this morning, almost heavenly. The cake on the other hand didn't have the same kick, she wondered why.
Ivy didn't have time to dwell, she had class to attend. As she packed her things, she noticed an older man walking towards her. It was professor Riker holding a piece of paper. "Miss Pepper, I'm happy I found you, a young man called earlier asking to quote your paper." The older man said, surprising Ivy.
"I began reading to get the quote and was impressed with your analysis of Gilbert and Garbo." he continued, handing the paper to her. The essay was marked with a perfect score. The professor nodded and went about his business. Ivy nearly in tears realizing who called.
——————————————————————
The day had passed by for the couple with little interruption to their tasks. Ivy finished her school day and returned to the daisy to help around the cafe. Calvin's run was successful and had no Rocky themed hyginks, but still felt guilt for what had transpired the night before. Their day was still far from over though.
The sun had gone down and the streets were quiet. Ivy sat alone in her boyfriend's apartment waiting for him to get home. She still didn't know what she was going to say to Calvin when he arrived, what could she say? 'Am I too fat for you?' It seemed a little too blunt, but she just wanted to know.
She heard the door unlock and looked over to see a familiar orange face step in. He noticed her but didn't say anything. Both simply stayed where they were for a moment, not knowing what to do or what the other was thinking.
Calvin had thought a dozen things about how today could end with her, none of them were particularly great. He wouldn't have been surprised if she'd never wanted to speak to him again. He wouldn't either if he caught someone staring at him in the nude.
Ivy finally got up and approached Calvin. he thought for a moment that she was going to smack him. She said nothing and simply embraced him, burying her head in his chest, he took a moment but returned the embrace.
"I expected nothing good to come of today." she said, her voice shaking a bit, "then you went and made today amazing." She continued, this time pulling away to kiss him on the cheek. He was finally able to find his voice, "you deserved it after yesterday, I felt bad after what I did."
Ivy pulled away suddenly and asked "what do you mean? I was the weird fat girl masturbating to you." The last part came out with shame. "I should be apologizing to you continued, looking up at him.
Calvin's face was bright red, he hadn't even considered what she was doing when he walked in. "You're not fat." He protested, trying to gain his composure. "You must think I'm oddly shaped though, I'm nothing like the woman in vogue." Ivy responded but was quickly retorted with a head shake from Calvin.
"Ivy, to be honest I was worried that you thought I was a creep for how entranced I got when I found you like that. I love your shape, you're far more beautiful than any woman in any magazine" he said without hesitation, trying to quell her shame. He placed a hand on her cheek and held her gaze for a moment. "I love you," he said.
Ivy began to cry, not with shame this time but with joy. She pulled her lips to his. They both embraced for what felt like hours until they had to draw breath. Only moving to the couch to continue their night.
"So you were 'entranced' with me?" She teased. He chuckled, "It felt like an appropriate response." He said before looking down in embarrassment. "I didn't know you found me attractive enough to… do that to" he said, growing a little more curious. Ivy smiled and laidback against him "I've thought about you like that a few times before." She admitted.
Calvin felt a strange energy come from her words, similar to the one he felt the night she was drunk. He gently moved her away and stood up, "would you mind if I got more comfortable? I've been in these clothes since midnight." He asked. Ivy nodded, causing him to smirk and her tail to wag.
He began to unbutton his shirt, revealing his chest and stomach. Ivy thought about how a hard day made him look more muscular. He stretched, pretending it was all in an effort to get 'comfortable' but he was enjoying the little reactions he was getting from her. Every thump of her tail against the couch cushions, fluttering of her eyes, tooth exposed from biting her lip, all of it pushed him further.
He looked down at her and smiled. "Why don't we go to the bedroom, I wanna show you something." He said. Ivys face broke out in a red tint, not expecting him to be so bold. He extended a hand and let her to the bedroom. Ivy got a step into the door before she found her voice, "Calvin, I need to tell you, I haven't done anything like this before." He gripped her hand and nodded "I understand, I have a little experience, but I don't want you to do something you're not ready for." He added. Ivy smiled at his chivalry, kissed him on the cheek and said "let me go get ready for bed."
Calvin sat on the side of the bed he usually sat on and opened the nightstand drawer, Ivy assumed to put his things away. She made her way into the bathroom. He waited til she was gone to find the small box he'd intended on giving her last night. He made sure the contents were still there. He was content with this being the last deed he did for her today, but the sound of Ivy tapping her hand on the bedroom doorway caught his attention.
He turned around and was shocked at the sight, dropping the small box. "You made this day incredible, you did so much for me when you didn't have to" she said, standing there wearing nothing. "I want to do something for my hero." She continued.
Calvin stood and walked over to her, making sure to enjoy the view the closer he came. Her breasts, while small, were complemented by beautifully perked nipples. Her stomach and hips were connected by a soft layer of warmth. Calvin felt the same energy plaguing his mind moments ago grow more intense with the distance between them shrinking.
He got close enough to put his hands on her waist, pulling her in and pressing his lips against hers. She had no desire to protest the feelings of those hands or the tongue that found its way to hers. His hands began to slowly explore her body, one finding its way to the small of her back and the other on her stomach. He let his claws out just enough for her to feel their presence but not to hurt her. All this while their oral dance continued, only ending with a thin strand of saliva connecting their gasping breaths.
She looked up at him, you'd think she was the only piece of the world that existed the way he was looking at her. Her head was swimming with just about every thought imaginable but she felt the need to say something. "You said you had experience? Should I be worried there's another woman you'll make feel this good?" She grinned.
He returned the grin and suddenly swept her into a bridal carry. "Just with my mouth, a high school fling gone too far too quick" he said, walking over to the bed and placing her down. He leaned down for what Ivy assumed was gonna be another kiss on the lips, she was surprised to find him on her neck before suddenly coming to her ear, "and your the only woman I wanna make feel this good." He added.
Her mind sank into his words, she felt intoxicated by her desire for him. "Can you show me?" She asked, spreading her legs. He smiled and moved down her body. She didn't hear a word come from him but he felt his lips graze across her stomach then down to her inner thigh. She was shaking with even the faintest contact with him at this point. He laid on his stomach, head between her legs and ready.
He didn't waste any time exploring her sex. He admired how she looked as he started with a gentle kiss to her cliterous. That simple act sent a wave across Ivy, her friends in college had told her about this but she never expected it to feel this good. His tongue began tracing the opening. He became lost in her flavor without even noticing the hands that found themselves on the back of his head pulling him closer.
He felt that energy continued to grow with each moan she let out, every time she gripped his scalp out of pure pleasure. It felt similar to when he'd use a gun but with more control and far more purpose, he loved it. He wanted to make her feel amazing because it made him feel amazing. He knew he needed to go further. His tongue found its way inside, making him lift her slightly to go deeper. The taste just got better and better with every part of her his tongue found.
The feeling of his mouth pressed against her crotch, his tongue inside her, his hands around her thighs holding her up. It was all so much for her. "Calvin!" She shouted with pleasure, letting go of his head and gripping the bed. She couldn't hold it, with a moan she released into him. Her body quivered for a few moments after her discharge and her head fell back against the pillow.
He pulled away still having her fluids around his mouth, he hadn't had this kind of reaction from his one time experience before. "Ivy are you -" he was cut off by her lunging and wrapping her arms around him with a long passionate kiss. He let the embrace last, enjoying her weight on top of him. She pulled away from him and laid on his chest, "I've never felt something like that before." She said softly, "I'm sorry if that was sudden." She apologized. He laughed and wrapped his arms around her "that's alright, I'm happy you enjoyed it."
He leaned forward, sitting her on his lap. She noticed a bump where she had sat on his lap. She smiled at him "can we try something neither of us have experienced?" She said, moving her hand down to undo his belt. He nodded, helping her release the tension in his pants. She moved off him while pulling his pants lower, causing his erection to spring out. She'd taken plenty of anatomy classes, seen pictures and diagrams of the organ in front of her but she had no idea they could be as large as he was.
"If you're not sure about this we don't have to go any further" he said, noticing her blush and inability to look away from his crotch. She just wasn't sure if she could accommodate him. She could still feel the pleasure that was pulsing through her just moments ago and wanted to feel it again, but she wanted him to feel the same. He deserved that, he'd done so much for her and she wanted to return the favor. "Ivy?" He asked again. "Sorry," she snapped back to the moment, "I wanna keep going," she said with a bit of nervousness and a smile.
She motioned him to lay back similar to how she was, he obliged and welcomed her crawling back on top of him. She could feel his shaft against her as she positioned to make a bolder next step. He started catching on to what she was going to do and placed his hands on her hips. "Are you ready?" She asked, not sure if it was to herself or to him, he simply nodded at her with a reassuring smile. She lined him up with her opening and slowly pushed herself down.
She quickly realized that, despite her own fluid being able to provide ample lubricant, he was still too large for her. More experienced friends had told her that they simply 'made it fit' with little elaboration. She wanted this so bad, against better judgment she decided to interpret her friends 'wisdom' as forcing herself down. "Ivy, wait don't forc-" he started before he'd suddenly slipped into her. Their minds had snapped away from their body's.
She was the first to gain a bit of her since back. She felt that same rush initially felt with his tongue spread throughout her body and multiplied every second she focused on how he felt inside her. She looked down, it was only his tip inside her, there was still over a half of foot of him still outside of her. She felt her body shake at the excitement of what the rest would feel like. "Calvin, are you ready for me to start moving?" She asked, no response. "Calvin?" She asked again, this time looking at him.
The energy that had him taking these actions had reached its peak. Everything about his body and mind were turned up to eleven, including the lust he had for her. With one fluid motion he had gotten on top of her and pinned her wrists above her head, all while maintaining their pelvic connection. He looked down at her, smiling at his position.
She was caught off guard by the change. She looked at him, his fangs showing in his smile. Something about being completely at his mercy was so exciting. "I said I wanted you to remember this." He said, using his free hand to drag a claw along the side of her neck. "So let's make it worth remembering." He growled, an action that only made her more aroused.
He began to push, causing a moan to escape her. It took a moment but he was finally all the way inside. Her legs shook in pleasure. "Calvin" she moaned, "this feels incredible." She was able to say in a shakey, pleasure stricken, voice. He chuckled lightly, "oh we're just getting started."
He began moving in and out of her. Each thrust made her body squirm, a feeling he was taking pleasure in. They kept at this for what felt like hours, his hand eventually released her wrist and she instinctively wrapped her arms around him. She loved the feeling of his body on top of her. She wanted to be the one who caused him to go into this wild state he was in now, the one who was at the receiving end of this new found energy they were experiencing.
His pounding eventually slowed for a moment only to lift her against the wall at the head of the bed. His paced quickening as she was able to make a noise that wasn't a moan or gasp. "Calvin" she said, he knew she was close. "Do it for me Ivy." he said, kissing her as they both finished.
She tightened around him, he throbbed inside her. They both felt pleasure indescribable to the other, yet both understood what the other was feeling. Both of them parted from the kiss breathing heavily but never losing eye contact with the other. They couldn't look away, all that mattered to them was how amazing it felt to be with the other in that moment. They were covered in each other's fluids, sweating profusely, and slowly losing the ability to hold themselves up but none of it mattered, they had each other after all. "I love you" neither of them were sure who said it, but they both heard it, they both meant it.
He fell back, making sure to hold her to his chest as to not hurt her with the impact. Neither had the strength to move, both were fading out of consciousness. "Ivy" he said softly, eyes closing and putting a hand on the back of her head. "Calvin" she responded just as softly, eyes closing and nuzzling her face into his chest.
——————————————————————
They awoke some time later. Their minds, while dazed, had returned to their normal state. Calvin's eyes opened to look at the window, it was still dark, then down to the woman on his chest, smiling as he noticed her. Ivy woke up, keeping her eyes closed but, rubbing her hand along his chest smiling at his presence.
They spent the first few minutes of consciousness enjoying each other's warmth, along with regaining the feeling below their waists. Ivy eventually leaned her head up and smiled at Calvin. "I already hate to think about what my life would have been like without you, to know I would have never experienced that is insanity." She said with a smirk. They laughed as he held her tighter. "You've made my life so much better Ivy" he said, rubbing his hand up and down her back, "anything I can do to return the favor I'll do without a second thought."
She felt love come from those words, honest and pure. She pulled herself up to kiss him. "So you're saying we can do this again?" She asked playfully. He smirked, "without a second thought." He repeated. He noticed her tail wagging in excitement at his affirmation.
They eventually found their way up and to the restroom to clean themselves off and get ready for bed properly. They took turns toweling one another off, Calvin needing to be more gentle of Ivy's more momentarily sensitive areas. She couldn't help but smile while they did so. Of all the boyfriends she's had, not one of them could make her feel this way. She'd spent so much time keeping up with the latest fashion trends and hiding 'undesirable' parts of her body that she never considered how someone who genuinely loved her would react if those things weren't a factor. Well, there she was standing in the bathroom being cleaned by someone who made sure her day was better than the last after exposing that side of her to him. Those 'undesirable' parts of her that she got embarrassed about that same person seeing were now the victims of his random kisses and bites during their cleaning session. They love each other and there wasn't any piece of fat or embarrassing attributes about the other that could change that.
With pajamas and a nightgown on, the young couple climbed back in bed, ready and satisfied with the day's events coming to an end. That was until Ivy's eye was caught by a small box on Calvin's night stand. "What's that?"she asked, motioning towards the box. "I nearly forgot." He said, handing her the box. She opened it, pulling out a mailbox plate reading 'Calvin M & Ivy P'. "If it's ok with you and your school, I thought you could move in with me" he said, waiting for a response.
She threw her arms around him, eyes welling with joy. "This really is the best day of my life, I love you Calvin." She said, overwhelmed with emotion. "I love you Ivy, you mean the world to me and I want to give us a place that we can call our own." he responded, putting his hand against the back of her head to help calm her. They fell asleep after a few minutes of joyful cuddling.
They walked down stairs the next morning, proudly placing the plate in the vacant section. The two looked at each other with love, knowing this was the start of a beautiful new part of their lives together. Only mildly embarrassed by the noise complaint left by the building manager.
